A groundbreaking re-engagement with the doctrine of justification. Horton first explores the thought of Origen, Augustine, and others as he traces the hermeneutical and theological significance of justification from the patristic era to the Reformation. He then views the topic from biblical-theological, exegetical, and systematic-theological vantage points---and engages with contemporary Pauline scholarship. 928 pages total, two softcovers from Nelson.
